A slender, hand-carved 14-inch wooden figure of a man standing and holding a staff. The figure has a dark, black-brown finish, with a pattern carved across the body to represent textured clothing or armor. The staff and some areas of the figure show the lighter wood underneath due to wear.
Style: Primitive/Folk Art, likely East or West African influenced.
Material: Solid Wood (dark stain/finish over lighter wood).
Size: 14 inches high.
Condition: Visible wear and loss of finish, revealing the lighter wood beneath, particularly on the staff and the back of the figure. Small crack on arm.
